The depth rule is a level truncation of tensor product coefficients expected to be sufficient for the evaluation of fusion coefficients. We reformulate the depth rule in a precise way, and show how, in principle, it can be used to calculate…
We review some recent results on properties of tensor product and fusion coefficients under complex conjugation of one of the factors. Some of these results have been proven, some others are conjectures awaiting a proof, one of them…
Three aspects of the SU(3) fusion coefficients are revisited: the generating polynomials of fusion coefficients are written explicitly; some curious identities generalizing the classical Freudenthal-de Vries formula are derived; and the…
Using a form factor approach, we define and compute the character of the fusion product of rectangular representations of \hat{su}(r+1). This character decomposes into a sum of characters of irreducible representations, but with q-dependent…
The paper contains the derivation of a general set of recurrence formulas for the calculus of the SU(3) Clebsch-Gordan coefficients. The first six sections are introductory, presenting the notations and placing SU(3) in the framework of the…
We develop a simple computational tool for $SU(3)$ analogous to Bargmann's calculus for $SU(2)$. Crucial new inputs are, (i) explicit representation of the Gelfand-Zetlin basis in terms of polynomials in four variables and positive or…
The irreducible representations of the Lie algebra ${\frak su}$(3) describe rotational bands in the context of the nuclear shell and interacting boson models. The density matrices associated with ${\frak su}$(3) provide an alternative…
After a summary of the TQFT wire model formalism we bridge the gap from Kuperberg equations for SU(3) spiders to Ocneanu coherence equations for systems of triangular cells on fusion graphs that describe modules associated with the fusion…
A C-Language program which tabulates the isoscalar factors and Clebsch-Gordan coefficients for products of representations in SU(3) is presented. These are efficiently computed using recursion relations, and the results are presented in…
We investigate the breaking of SU(3) into its subgroups from the viewpoints of explicit and spontaneous breaking. A one-to-one link between these two approaches is given by the complex spherical harmonics, which form a complete set of…
This is an expository introduction to fusion rules for affine Kac-Moody algebras, with major focus on the algorithmic aspects of their computation and the relationship with tensor product decompositions. Many explicit examples are included…
We study the structure of the indecomposable direct summands of tensor products of two restricted simple $SL_3(K)$-modules, where $K$ is an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p \geq 5$. We give a characteristic-free algorithm for…
We obtain several rigidity results regarding tensor product decompositions of factors. First, we show that any full factor with separable predual has at most countably many tensor product decompositions up to stable unitary conjugacy. We…
The tensor product of two holomorphic discrete series representations of $SU(1,1)$ can be decomposed as a direct sum of infinitely many discrete series. I shall introduce equivariant quantum channels for each component of the direct sum,…
We show that the SU(3) Casson invariant for spliced sums along certain torus knots equals 16 times the product of their SU(2) Casson knot invariants. The key step is a splitting formula for su(n) spectral flow for closed 3-manifolds split…
The pseudo-SU(3) model is extended to explicitly include the spin and proton-neutron degrees of freedom. A general formalism for evaluating matrix elements of one-body and two-body tensor operators within this framework is presented. The…
We produce congruences modulo a prime $p>3$ for sums $\sum_k\binom{3k}{k}x^k$ over ranges $0\le k<q$ and $0\le k<q/3$, where $q$ is a power of $p$. Here $x$ equals either $c^2/(1-c)^3$, or $4s^2/\bigl(27(s^2-1)\bigr)$, where $c$ and $s$ are…
Following a recent proposal of Richard Borcherds to regard fusion as the ring-like tensor product of modules of a {\em quantum ring}, a generalization of rings and vertex operators, we define fusion as a certain quotient of the (vector…
The aim of the present paper is to give a formula for the $k$-th covariant derivative of tensor field along a given curve. In order to do that, first the symbols $P^{i<k>}_{j}$ and $Q^{i<k>}_{j}$ which depend on the Christoffel symbols are…
In this paper, we define a semi-tensor product for third-order tensors. Based on this definition, we present a new type of tensor decomposition strategy and give the specific algorithm. This decomposition strategy actually generalizes the…
